    I wouldn't say large, just tall.

    It looks a little, distorted... some sanding on the face (the rest came out awesome!) and a matching coat of paint would own magnets!

    Ya, the expansion mold was a little unforgiving when it came to the longness. I nose is so narrow, and small that I'm affraid to sand it. I think I might try another expansion mold. I used Pretender Bumblebee's head if anyone else wants to try it.

    Well, I guess I'm mostly finished with this piece. For my first time casting, I guess its not too bad. There were several other defects that I couldn't work out with out damaging it more. More comments are welcome!

    like others have said - a tad too long - but if it wasnt in direct comparison to the original bb head i bet it wouldnt look as 'out'.

    good work though and great first effort.
